    BASIC STRUCTURE OF A CLASS

    This is purely an example of a basic class. However, I change my classes depending on each student's specific needs. This is just an example.

    9:00h – The class starts by answering any questions that came up for the student since the last class.
    9:10h – We review your homework, and I give you feedback about whatever your homework was. (This could be a writing assignment, a listening exercise, pronunciation work, etc.) We correct things together. As we correct your homework, you can ask any questions you'd like.(even if they aren't related to the homework)
    9:25h – Free conversation. This is a chance for the student to practice their Conversation skills by having a conversation with me. We can talk about the topics from our class, or whatever else you would like to talk about. I will clarify any words or phrases that need to be corrected.
    9:45h – Wrap things up. We discuss the questions that came up during the class, and talk about what should be done in the following lesson.
    9:50pm – Class ends
